This unusual set is handmade with an inlaid playing board crafted using the marquetry technique with oak wood. The contrasting wood grains create an interesting design and adds a timeless finish. With side racks to hold the checkers and a full set of dice, this set is an ideal gift for professionals or newcomers to the game.

Ebony composite wood veneer is nearly black in colour with contrasting shades of grey. The wood contains patterns of flame-like figures that result from an irregular wavy grain. The playing field is a combination of Ebony burl with Grey & Oak inlaid points.

What is Ebony Burl?

Ebony burl is a type of wood that is characterized by its dark color and wavy grain pattern. It is often used in the production of high-end furniture, decorative items, and other luxury products because of its unique appearance and durability. The term "burl" refers to a type of wood grain pattern that is characterized by a swirling or "crazy" appearance, which is caused by the presence of abnormal growths on the tree. Burl wood is often highly prized for its decorative value and is used to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.
